This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 3.94% to $13,053. A particularly bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally from a morning low $12,540 to a late morning high $13,171.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $12,168.47, Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $12,881.07.

For the bulls, holding onto $13,000 levels through the late morning was key. A lack of support from the broader market left Bitcoin short of the second major resistance level at $13,204.13, however.

Across the broader market, Ethereum managed to find support to join Bitcoin in the green. At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.29%.

It was red for the rest of the top 10 cryptos through the 1^st half of the day. Leading the way down was Bitcoin Cash SV and Tron’s TRX, which were down by 3.94% and 2.37% respectively.

For the Rest of the Day

A hold onto $13,000 levels through the early afternoon would support another run at the first major resistance level at $13,204.13.

Bitcoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from this morning’s high $13,171.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, the bulls will be eyeing 26^th June’s current year high $13,764.

Failure to hold onto $13,000 levels could see Bitcoin give up the morning gains. A fall through the morning low $12,540 to sub-$12,450 levels would bring the first major support level at $12,168.47 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, we would expect Bitcoin to steer clear of sub-$12,500 levels on the day.
